A Critical Juncture

Revamping Ethiopia’s Infrastructure

Ethiopia’s population and economy continue to grow, the need for modern and robust infrastructure has become more pressing than ever. Traditionally, significant projects such as building roads, bridges, and ports have been financed by the Federal and Regional governments. However, with increasing economic pressures, exchange rate fluctuations, volatile oil prices, and liquidity constraints straining fiscal budgets, the private sector has stepped in to provide the necessary capital for these critical developments.
